Help dating this lavender dress.

[Villa]

Hi, I could use some advice about this sweet little number. What kind of dress is it? A garden party dress or something? I can guess it is from the 1910's or so, but I really don't know about items like this. Hopefully I'll be able to clean it up nicely. Thanks!!

It looks early 20s to me - c. 1920-22, but it might be later - its difficult without seeing it being worn to know how its supposed to fit. It's very nice - the filet lace in the centre front is made to fit the insert, which makes it nicer than most.

That is lovely and yes I agree with Jonathan to 1920s. You should be able to wash this one in cold water with a mild soap, the marks may come out of it. I use eucalan, it is a very mild soap, you can order it online if it is not available in your area.

That really is lovely and looks in great condition. I really like that soft lavender color! And I agree with the 1920s for dating.

What did one originally wear under it, and where would it be worn? Is it just a regular daytime dress? I am glad you all agree on the 20's. I had guessed earlier because the waist isn't very low.
